📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughPublic address discovery now uses iroh net reports when relays are enabled. It preserves externally mapped ports and address provenance, falls back to local enumeration when needed, and applies provenance-aware candidate selection to invite tokens. ChangesNetwork address discovery
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change improves direct reachability for port-remapped containers by advertising externally observed UDP ports and rejecting destination-varying mappings, but the current branch still has a model-selection fallback that can choose ResidentKv for unreviewed Qwen3 point releases and bypass the intended safety gate; this should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge. The unstable iroh dependency also requires care during future upgrades. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Remove the legacy qwen3 fallback.
For an unreviewed release such as Qwen3.9, infer_family_capability returns None. When artifacts are absent or unreadable, infer_cache_payload then matches identity.contains("qwen3") and returns ResidentKv. Remove that condition so unresolved Qwen3 identities return Disabled.

Nodes behind a port-remapping container (Vast.ai and similar) advertised the port they bound inside the container rather than the port the outside world sees, so peers could never reach them directly and every mesh split silently fell back to relay. The direct address now comes from the endpoint's net report, which reports the address a remote probe server observed us from, so the advertised port is the NAT-mapped one. Reports whose mapping varies by probe destination are address-dependent NAT and are not punchable, so they are rejected with a warning instead of advertised. Net reports need a relay to probe from. With relays disabled there is no probe target, so discovery keeps the previous interface-enumeration behaviour and records that the port is unverified. An observed address now replaces any enumerated public candidate in the advertised address set, because the two are indistinguishable once mixed and the enumerated one carries the wrong port on a remapping host.

Call stun_public_addr for RelayPolicy::Disabled.
RelayPolicy::Disabled makes uses_raw_stun() false, so Node::start skips stun_public_addr and sets public_addr to None. This bypasses the helper’s local-interface fallback for LAN-only discovery.

Flagging a scope problem in my own PR body, prompted by a review of today's work. The code and tests are unaffected; two claims in the description overreach. 1. "Fixes #1300" is too strong — I have withdrawn the field evidence that motivated it. The PR body says every mesh split "silently fell back to the relay" with a What survives is the original mechanism, which is what the diff addresses: Suggest this becomes "Addresses #1300" rather than "Fixes", and #1300 stays open until a direct path is demonstrated on a port-remapping provider. 2. A related result worth recording, because it complicates the story. On two same-facility nodes today I ran with 3. The "Not validated on hardware" caveat already in the body is the operative one. It stays true and should not be softened when this merges. Six unit tests cover the derivation decision including the Estonia shape; none of them prove a punch succeeds in the field. Unchanged and still accurate: Also unchanged: this requires the iroh |

changed the title
The obligation to re-verify global_v4 and mapping_varies_by_dest_ipv4 on an iroh bump lived only in the pull request description. iroh is pinned independently in six places across five crates with no [workspace.dependencies] entry, so whoever bumps it edits six lines and never sees that description. Put the caveat directly above the pin that carries the feature, where a bump cannot miss it.

What changes for users
A node running inside a container whose UDP port is remapped by the host (Vast.ai and similar cloud GPU providers) is now reachable directly by its peers. Previously such a node advertised the port it bound inside the container, so no peer could reach it and every mesh split silently fell back to the relay — adding ~52 ms per boundary crossing and making split throughput numbers meaningless.
When a node's address cannot support a direct path, it now says so instead of advertising something unverified:
Fixes #1300.
Architecture
mesh::stun::stun_public_addrpreviously took the first globally-routable IPv4 fromendpoint.watch_addr(). That set is local interface enumeration, so a locally-enumerated candidate and an externally-observed one are the same type and indistinguishable. On a container holding a public IP on its own interface, the local candidate wins — carrying the container's port, not the host's mapped port.Three changes:
Observed address, where one exists. With relays configured, discovery reads
endpoint.net_report().Report::global_v4is set from a QAD probe reply (iroh-1.0.3/src/net_report/report.rs:81-99), i.e. the address a relay observed us from, so it carries the NAT-mapped port by construction rather than by inference.Explicit rejection instead of silent wrong answers.
mapping_varies_by_dest_ipv4 == Some(true)means iroh saw different addresses from different relays (report.rs:88-95) — address-dependent NAT, not hole-punchable — so it is rejected with a warning rather than advertised. Variance being unmeasured (None) is not evidence of that and is still accepted.The source is now in the type.
PublicAddr { addr, source: Observed | LocallyEnumerated }replaces a bareSocketAddr, because the bug was precisely that the two were indistinguishable.invite_tokenuses it: anObservedaddress replaces any enumerated public candidate in the advertised set; aLocallyEnumeratedone only fills a gap, preserving today's behaviour.Relay-disabled hosts keep working
Net reports probe through relays. With
RelayMode::Disabledthe relay map is empty, no QAD probe runs, andglobal_v4is never populated — so a net-report-only implementation would have left LAN-only and relay-disabled nodes with no public address at all, a regression. Those hosts fall back to interface enumeration and log that the port is unverified. Reviewers should check this reasoning specifically; it is the part most likely to be wrong.Cost: an unstable iroh feature
Endpoint::net_report()is gated behind iroh'sunstable-net-report, explicitly outside semver ("may change in any release without a major version bump"). Enabled onmesh-llm-host-runtimeonly. The alternative is keeping a discovery path that cannot distinguish observed from enumerated addresses, which is the defect. This is a maintainer call, not mine.Protocol
No wire change. The advertised direct address is an existing gossip field; only its derivation changes, and the set now excludes a stale enumerated candidate when a verified one exists. Older peers see a reachable address where they previously saw an unreachable one.
Dependency commitment — requires an unstable iroh feature
This enables
unstable-net-reportonmesh-llm-host-runtimeonly:iroh documents that surface as exempt from semantic versioning (
iroh-1.0.3/src/lib.rs:294-299):observed_public_ipv4readsreport.global_v4andreport.mapping_varies_by_dest_ipv4directly, so a patch-level iroh bump can break the build or silently change field semantics. Any pinned-iroh bump must re-verify both fields.This is a deliberate maintenance commitment, not an oversight: there is no stable iroh API exposing the externally-observed tuple, so the alternative is not addressing #1300 at all. Flagging it so a reviewer accepts it knowingly rather than discovering it at the next dependency bump. Raised by @Dario in review.
Validation
cargo clippy -p mesh-llm-host-runtime --all-targets -- -D warnings— cleancargo test -p mesh-llm-host-runtime --lib— 2475 passed, 0 failedcargo fmt --all --check— cleanSix unit tests cover the decision, including the exact Estonia shape (bound 41842, observed 23555). The previous test could not have caught this bug: it constructed the address it then asserted on, so it never exercised the observed-vs-enumerated distinction.
Not validated on hardware. Proving the direct path end-to-end needs a cross-host run on a port-remapping provider. Do not read this as field-proven.
